This is digital? Woah, I thought it was oil.

Great atmosphere!

Many people seem to get fooled, but it's actually just a few textured photoshop brushes.
And thanks!

C'est un superbe travail, a la fois pour le visuel et l'effet de rendu de la matiere, on a vraiment l'impression que c'est de la peinture sur une toile. Bravo ! En plus j'adore l'atmosphere

Hey, merci!
En fait l'effet peinture c'est fait tout seul, sans effort et presque pas fait exprès grÒce aux pinceaux texturés que j'ai piqués à un pro.

Dzulkifli27 [2016-10-22 03:09:41 +0000 UTC]

I thought this was done traditionally with oil. The middle area is truly alive with its color,somehow it seems to pulled the whole painting to it.

simbalm In reply to Dzulkifli27 [2016-10-22 09:03:03 +0000 UTC]

Hehe. Sneaky textured brushes fooling people since 1985. ^^
But no, it's 100% digital.
A little colour dodge with a dark brown to make the colours pop in the middle.

I could not tell the difference from a glance. It's amazing with the use of the color dodge.
I should practice more on it.Β Β 
Thank you so much for the kind explanation.

I'm glad because it's maybe the one where I feel like I'm the one most responsible for the beauty of the image more than the reference.

Very gorgeous...
I remember being all proud of my paintings that I did watching Bob Ross, just to see paintings like this and feel like shit...
ok sorry for the rambling, but still great art

simbalm In reply to HappyMasky [2016-10-18 02:59:55 +0000 UTC]

there's definitely a Bob Ross feeling to it.
I think it's the idealistic scenery and saturated colours.
But you should never feel like shit when looking at someone else's paintings. You don't know how many failures were necessary to get them there (in my case, a lot).
It's mostly about practice. With a good method and teacher and 30-60 min a day, anyone can learn to draw and paint in a couple of months.
